Figure 4-1. Comparison of CMB contributions to actual contributions for experiment 1 at each<br />

receptor averaged over all hours in (a) Round 1 (b) Round 2 and (c) Round 4.<br />

DRI selected seven CMB categories for the Round 1 analysis based on criteria of good CMB<br />

performance and lack of co-linearity between source category profiles. It is important to<br />

understand that these CMB categories were identified because they had different chemical<br />

compositions that, taken together, explained the “ambient” sample composition with some<br />

success. The CMB category names should not be expected to always correspond with source<br />

categories that are used in preparing emission inventories. This is because emission inventory<br />

categories are defined around activities that generate emissions rather than the chemical<br />

composition of emissions. The seven CMB categories selected by DRI for Round 1 are<br />

described in Table 4-1. The CMB categories were matched to A-<strong>34</strong> source categories used in<br />

preparing the simulated “ambient” air samples as shown in the right column of Table 4-1.<br />
